I have a deep concern about all the towers going up, close to homes and schools. We have no idea the long term affects all the EMFs are causing because they put them up without ever doing long- term studies. However, we do know that children exposed to the high frequencies have gotten sick from headaches to cancers. We know that high exposure to EMFs causes a lifetime of chronic illness, many problems we don’t even know about yet. Cell phones, towers, smart meters…all have so many potential deadly outcomes. I make sure our family is as protected as we can be, with paying attention to WiFi and placement of routers and our ways to mitigate. But it feels like a battle I will never win when we are bombarded 24 hours a day. Please put the brakes on EMFs and do some quality studies, not by companies who benefit.

My husband was disabled from wi-fi 2 years ago when his job (public teaching) put in so many wireless devices in his classroom that he his system was overwhelmed by the toxicity. He had to flee the city for 5 days as even basic electricity was making him extremely sick. These cases are well documented and there is NO doubt that it is Wi-fi and EMR that is causing this. He is now home bound and can only leave the house for a very short amount of time before the cell towers around town make him extremely sick. PLEASE, HHS, put restrictions on EMR exposure before this happens to more people. Make actual safety guidelines that companies, cities, neighborhoods, etc have to abide by to protect people from this harmful toxin. The federal government denied my husband's disability request because you people don't know this is a real condition yet. Please get informed! This condition is well documented! There is no excuse for remaining willfully ignorant.

I live right across the road from a so called phone tower, but my husband, my son, and I are always feeling sick, ever since we moved here 4 years ago. Right outside pyatt Arkansas. I noticed they added more to the tower. I would like for someone to come out and check this tower please. There is a man that lives right next to the tower as well. Thank you, Lisalive right across the road from a so called phone tower, but my husband, my son, and I are always feeling sick, ever since we moved here 4 years ago. Right outside pyatt Arkansas.

Please help us, Americans. We are exposed to what would be illegal levels of radiation, in Europe and other countries. Verizon wants to put "cell" (GWEN) towers,in residential places, among children,etc., and now Berizon is suing the city of Grass Valley, California. Corporations have been given priority over our people! Thank you. -Laura McClary

Submission to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Regarding: Request for Information on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure I am submitting this comment to urge the Department of Health and Human Services to expand its review of safety thresholds regarding ambient electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation exposure. As wireless networks expand, the public is increasingly exposed to cumulative radiation from consumer devices, cell towers, and commercial infrastructure. My primary concern centers on the need for thorough federal evaluation of how ambient radiation interacts with the human nervous system. Publicly available intellectual property, such as registered patents detailing nervous system manipulation via electromagnetic fields, alongside established military research into directed energy and neuro-technologies, demonstrates that the biological mechanisms for external influence on human physiology exist conceptually and technically. There is a critical need for transparent, civilian public health standards to investigate whether ambient commercial frequencies intersect with these neurological pathways, particularly regarding unintended cognitive or behavioral stress. In my own experience, I have noticed profound physical and behavioral disruptions that correlate with wireless environments. Keeping an active mobile device in close proximity to my body results in localized skin irritation, burning sensations, and rashes. Additionally, I experience persistent headaches and severe sleep disruptions. Ambient electromagnetic signals and visual emissions from household Wi-Fi routers and LED lighting indicators consistently degrade my rest; I experience a noticeable improvement in my sleep depth and cognitive clarity only when these devices are fully powered down or physically covered. Given the complexity of these interactions, I ask that HHS transcend standard thermal tissue heating models. The department should fund independent, transparent research into the neurological and psychological impacts of non-thermal RF exposure, investigate localized exposure risks, and establish clearer public guidelines. Thank you for your attention to these critical public health and regulatory concerns.

I am submitting this official comment regarding the Department's Request for Information (RFI) on electromagnetic fields, radiofrequency radiation, and wireless exposure.  The core function of federal health agencies should be to evaluate public health risks strictly through rigorous, empirical, and peer-reviewed scientific consensus. When setting policy or opening inquiries into complex technical domains like wireless radiation, the Department must rely on validated data compiled by actual career scientists, toxicologists, and epidemiologists—not on politicized agendas or fringe medical theories popularized by leadership. Allowing public comment portals to serve as a sounding board for unverified anecdotes, fear-mongering, and pseudoscientific ideas pushed by HHS leadership under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. undermines public trust in federal health institutions. Instead of crowdsourcing health evaluations through an open-door mechanism that risks amplifying conspiracy theories and "crackpot science," the agency should defer entirely to high-standard, independent systematic reviews conducted by recognized scientific bodies (such as the National Institutes of Health, the CDC, and established international health physics organizations). If HHS genuinely intends to evaluate exposure standards, it must anchor its framework in objective, methodologically sound scientific data rather than chasing unsubstantiated narratives. Public policy regarding public health and technology must be driven by verifiable evidence, not administrative panic.

Hi, Your form says "Do not submit personally identifiable information through this form. Any personally identifiable information (e.g., name, address, phone number) included in the comment form or in an attachment may be publicly disclosed in a docket or on the Internet (via Regulations.gov, a federal agency website, or a third-party, non-government website with access to publicly-disclosed data on Regulations.gov)" The minimum mandatory fields for response include first name and last name.

I absolutely support this request for information as I feel that there are far too many cell towers broadcasting frequencies that are harmful to my health and the health of my family and pets. The fact that we now have cell towers in the midst of our cities every few blocks and every few miles in the countryside is alarming! We need a safer alternative! I find it alarming that so much has been allowed even though it is harmful to our health and well being. I am very interested in knowing ALL of the uses for the towers and the frequencies they are putting out.

This is an absurd request for public input on matters of observable scientific phenomena. How is your office not abjectly embarrassed to publish this solicitation?

The excessive wireless around me has ruined my life and causes me terrible and disabling pain. Antennas, but especially the almost permanently connected devices of so many people (they are sending and receiving antennas) Wifi, also from the neighbours the wall of my bed, Bluetooth, etc.
